In
the ostensibly short time since moving to Senegal, time has flown.
Even more surprising is the amount I have learned, both on the
personal and professional levels.

I
have had plenty of time to adapt to a new culture, get a sense of the
environment in which I am now getting more and more involved in,
acculturate to the diversity of my colleagues, as an intern in the
NGO sector, and people in my surroundings, and gain an ease to my
independence. I have started to fulfill the professional goals I had
charted at the beginning of my journey.

In
the spirit of becoming an International Project Manager for
initiatives involving Youth, Media and ICTs in developing
countries, I have made contacts, acquired more knowledge and put
into practice what I learnt in my Masters course (M.A. Anthropology
of Development, Goldsmiths' College, London UK)

The
accomplishments to date are highlighted as wanting and willing to be
able to learn, put in practice, improve and facilitate my knowledge
of the institutional side of development within which I would
be able to better at reaching my objectives as well as contributing
to the research and training of sustainable projects resulting in the
progress of the lives of those living there. Part of my mission is
being involved and dedicated to helping and empowering people through
education and knowledge sharing, promoting secure steps at sustaining
communities, and assisting in the global fight to eradicating
poverty, injustice and inequality, and I am on my way!
